(wip) my first proper attempt at animating in a long while :]

Apparently this book is/was available to kids as young as five years old (K-12 libraries).

All research and credit to this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/xxclusionary/status/1660035667387088898?s=20

The creator included references for proof that the book is available to an age group starting at age 5. So check that thread if you’re doubtful that children as young as 5 have access to this.

1. Male and female bizarrely rebranded as “testosterone rich” and “estrogen rich”. Girl-dick and adult nudity straight off the bat.

Insinuates the default male and female relationship is a jock+ hyper-feminine damsel and that variance only exits via transition or w identities outside the m/f binary. Apparently impossible for a female gf to like sports and a male bf to not be hyper masculine.

Every black female depicted as androgynous or trans masculine. 1% of the population who take artificial sex hormones represented on almost every single anatomy page.

Transwoman cited as having broad hips and depicted as the most femme kind of women throughout the book. More girl-dick and “testosterone rich” /“estrogen rich” speak.

Graphic PIV sex depicted. Again, book available to 5 year olds.

How to Use Butt Plugs Guide. Again. Target audience 5-18. Even for 16-18 year olds, is butt plug usage something you casually get into at that age? It’s a hardcore sex toy. Why was this included?

Why does addressing the stigma against STDs have to mean presenting them as No Big Deal? Also dangerous if this book ends up outside of the US or Europe in developing countries where STI testing and treatment is still a struggle, health care systems are slow + underfunded and HIV/ AIDS is still a deadly illness.

“The internet is a great place to research kinks!”

Directing people under the age of 18 to search porn for sex and “kink” info explicitly against the guidelines and laws of most countries is so delusional and irresponsible.

If a child has no idea how this actually in reality works, they will be so confused by this. Of course, "Depending on WHICH hormones you're exposed to as you grow" may imply that "medical" tampering of some children's hormonal levels is actually a given.

In the illustration, there is a penis-bearer with breasts and "broader hips," but "medical" tampering is not mentioned at all. Because of that, you're left with the idea that any male could just randomly get them in puberty. There is also a female with mastectomy scars, as if in puberty some females will just randomly first have their breasts and then have their breasts cut off. This is sickening.

“Some men get raped too” but who does the raping?

“Men are more likely to be physically attacked” but who’s doing the attacking?

“Teen girls who get pregnant” but who’s impregnanting teenage girls?

When are men ever held responsible for their decisions and actions? They don’t have to watch porn/buy prostitutes but they do and they’re not held accountable.

Medical gender transition for children is still considered experimental by the medical community [1][2][3][4][5][6][26].

There is no medical consensus on the best way to treat dysphoria, and the evidence for puberty blockers, hormones, and surgery being effective in minors is lacking[1][6][26].

Puberty plays a vital role in building brain structures, developing the cardiovascular system, organ growth, sexual maturation and function, and much more [24].

There has been no study into the neuro-cognitive effects of preventing puberty from taking place [2][7], with evidence suggesting it prevents brain development [26].

There is no evidence as yet that administering cross-sex hormones to a puberty-suppressed child will trigger the same development as a natural puberty [26].

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health acknowledges this in their Standards of Care [2] in 2012, on page 18:

“Although the very first results of this approach (as assessed for adolescents followed over 10 years) are promising, the long-term effects can only be determined when the earliest treated patients reach the appropriate age.”

The children under study, as of 2022, are just now reaching early to mid twenties.

In a recent study, puberty blockers did not significantly alter patient psychological function or tendency for self-harm over a course of 3 years [8]. Despite the children self-reporting a positive experience, other data collected from parent reports and psychological evaluation demonstrated mixed mental health. In particular, self-harm attempts remained elevated throughout.

That same study also reported reductions in bone strength and height.

Osteoporosis, skeletal abnormalities, and increased suicidal behavior are known side effects of puberty blockers on children treated with them in Sweden [27]. These symptoms, along with joint and teeth problems have also appeared in children who were given it for other reasons [9], such as early onset puberty [10].

When children are left to complete puberty normally, 73% - 94% resolve their gender dysphoria (”desistance”) by the time they reach adulthood [2][26].

When children are put on puberty blockers, 98-100% of them continue to cross-sex hormones and/or surgery. [2][8]

Of those whose gender dysphoria desists (resolves itself), a significant percentage of them grow up to be gay [2][13]. Those whose dysphoria continues into adulthood are often from a lower socioeconomic class. [13]

Autism, ADHD, depression, and anxiety also are often co-morbid with gender dysphoria, though there is no clear understanding of what mechanism might link these [14][15].

A course of puberty blockers and hormones virtually guarantee loss of sexual function and sterility, even with no surgery introduced [7][3][9][26][27].

For girls on testosterone, surgical removal of the reproductive system will be necessary, or it will be in danger of it atrophying[5]. Buck Angel, a prominent transman, was hospitalized and nearly died of sepsis from atrophy, as an example [16 - warning: graphic medical images].

Some of the doctors who developed the puberty blocker protocol have spoken out against their proliferation and misuse[19] [20].

Finland changed their pediatric gender guidelines in 2021 to emphasize psychosocial support over medical intervention, in all but the most extreme cases[18], due to the emerging evidence against the efficacy of puberty blockers.

Also in 2021, the United Kingdom’s National Health Service commissioned the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to conduct an independent review of the evidence for pediatric gender transition. [1]

Their results found that the available evidence for the efficacy of medical transition to be very low. They also found that the available studies themselves are of low quality, meaning they are flawed in their design or implementation.

Of the studies’ flaws, the two biggest are (1) lack of a control group, which means that we can’t know how well the children being studied would have done without intervention, and (2) the extreme loss to follow up. In other words, the majority of patients treated medically do not follow up with their doctors, and so the data we have forms a very incomplete picture, leaving out the patients who are most likely to be unsatisfied.

Notably, a common theme among detransitioners [30][31][32](of all ages) is a reluctance to go back to the doctors who treated them [34][29].

Sweden’s National Board of Health and Welfare recently updated their guidance on treating childhood gender dysphoria to preclude puberty blockers in all but the most extreme cases[17], due in large part to emerging data on the risks of these drugs.

In 2022, France has indicated a similar reversal of emphasizing psychosocial support over medical intervention. Medical intervention should be treated as a last resort for the most serious of cases.[28]
